Chapter 892: I Have A Hunch
A day later.
After splitting open the head of the Lord of Fire and extracting the Fire Eukaryote, the huge body that had lost consciousness fell into the lake. There, it remained soaking in the icy cold water for an entire day before gradually hardening into rock.
Because Yue Yang needed to use the Creation Domain, Energy-absorbing Bracelets and the White Splendid Frost to convert the fire energy of the Fire Eukaryote, he had no time to participate in the final expulsion of the battle. If it weren’t for being trapped in a disadvantaged terrain and wrongly estimating Yue Yang’s attack methods, it wouldn’t have been that simple of a process to defeat the Lord of Fire. The most important thing was that the Lord of Fire had sufficient power, but without the cooperation between a human body and the Supreme Will, it was difficult to exert his true power. Or, if he was still fighting in the sea of his own superior terrain, he would have no problem recovering. In the field of combustion, he could have maintained his invincibility while being able to protect himself.
Under the dual suppression of Yue Yang’s small but pressuring power of the Law and the Innate Invincible Sword Qi, the Lord of Fire was defeated.
His defeat didn’t seem like that of a strong opponent.
Of course, it was an unspoken rule that those who ignored or underestimated the ultimate skill of the Nirvana Flame, the Eternal Wheel and the World-Exterminating Wheel would be punished.
To possess the Nirvana Flame and the World-Exterminating Wheel, paired with Yue Yang’s strength, the powers have been continuously multiplied and progressed. It evolved faster than any other ability. With time, the abilities could be exerted to their full potential.
With Yue Yang’s current strength, any one of the three powers that he casted out would be an immensely powerful existence towards those below the Divine Rank.
“Ho, ho…”
The powerful soul expelled from the Fire Eukaryote carried a very strong sense of unwillingness and resentment.
Even with Yue Yang’s current strength, it couldn’t be eliminated.
Moreover, the Law of this Hourglass World did not allow the Lord of Fire and the Fairy Qi Luo to ‘escape’ regardless of their forms.
At least, before Yue Yang’s will was stronger than the Will of the Ancient God, it was impossible for him to take away the Lord of Fire, just like how it was impossible for him to bring the Empress Fei Wen Li out of the Black Hole Seal Space. Of course, the Black Hole’s Sealing Space was much stronger— there was absolutely no way to break it and there weren’t any faults to pick at either.
In order to ensure that the Lord of Fire could no longer use his reignition domain to resurrect himself, Yue Yang deposited the Lord of Fire’s soul in the belly of a puppet beast. Then, the puppet beast sank into the depths of the lake, sealing it firmly with ice that would not melt for more than 10,000 years. Even if there was any force that could break the ice and release the Lord of Fire stored in the puppet beast, Yue Yang, the maker and sealer, would be the first to know of it. Maybe, when he enters a state of Divine Supremacy in the future, there would be no need for this ‘old-fashioned’ seal; however, using this kind of seal for the present Yue Yang was the best choice for now.
The huge body made up of volcanic magma of the Lord of Fire had been cooled into stone.
It laid quietly at the bottom of the lake, 10,000 meters away from the surface.
In the middle, Yue Yang drew a giant celestial rune formation, which was very similar to the Giant Flame Rune Formation. The only difference was that this rune needed water energy for maintenance instead of fire energy.
“Are you done?” When Yue Yang finished re-sealing the Lord of Fire and broke out from the surface of the water, he found that Princess Qian Qian, who had gone out to pursue the enemy before, was back. The Tigress seemed to be in a good mood, handing Yue Yang a towel to wipe off the water droplets on his body. Later, seeing that Yue Yang’s actions were too sloppy, she snatched it up again and helped him in an extremely rare act of affection. Looking like a conscientious young wife, she smiled and said, “Without Sister Yu and the others, you can’t even take care of yourself. To Hell with the nonsense of being the ‘Number One Genius of the Tong Tian Tower’, you might as well be called the ‘Number One Idiot’ or something…”
“I’m giving you a chance to cultivate your hands-on ability,” Student Yue Yang laughed loudly.
“And who would ever require that chance of yours?!” Tigress gave him a scornful look, but continued to keep her hands busy.
“How are the results?” Yue Yang enjoyed Princess Qian Qian’s service like a senior master. The only thing that was missing would be to have someone move a master’s chair for him to lie down on.
“I only killed two Fuel Bats as the condor was too fast. When the Lord of Fire fell, it immediately betrayed its master and fled at a speed that I couldn’t catch up to. Hui Tai Lang was still swallowing the fishman and couldn’t help, so Xiao Wen Li went to chase it personally,” Princess Qian Qian dried Yue Yang’s hair. Then, she took off his clothes and draped over a new set of attire for him. Usually with other people around, she never expressed her care towards Yue Yang. But now, as there were only the two of them, she was not fierce at all; instead, she acted like a gentle and caring wife. The only thing that remained the same was that her words still expressed her dissatisfaction towards losing.
“Where is the Fire Dragon Eel?” Yue Yang was more concerned about the two Battle Beasts. One of them was the Flame Condor that had wisdom and very good potential. If Yue Yang didn’t want to keep it, he would definitely kill it as soon as possible.
Another beast was the Deep Sea Fire Dragon Eel, who was even stronger than the Flame Condor.
However, its shortcomings were also very obvious.
The Fire Dragon Eel was a super giant Battle Beast with pure fire attributes. It couldn’t enter the water, nor could it fly for a long time. Hence, it would be restricted by many terrains in an actual fight, unlike the Flame Condor that could fight in every location besides water. In terms of cultivation value, oversized beasts were not as good as smaller beasts as the chances of them transforming into Divine Beasts in the future were really slim.
“Subdued. When the Storm Goddess grabbed its tail, it immediately descended,” Princess Qian Qian lowered her head to help Yue Yang wipe his body as she responded to his question.
“It’s loyalty is not high. When other beasts attacked us, it was the only one gradually opting to hide in the rear. I’m guessing that it was not a beast of the Lord of Fire, but as it was sealed together in this Sea of Flames, it had no choice but to succumb to it,” Yue Yang raised his eyebrows. Not being able to catch up to the Flame Condor is fine; at the very least, they weren’t returning from this trip empty-handed. Besides obtaining the Qi Luo Umbrella, he also managed to acquire the Fire Dragon Eel that was considered a pretty good beast.
When Princess Qian Qian was putting on Yue Yang’s undergarments, she found that something stood upright like a gun. It was arrogant and murderous, as if a big battle was about to be waged at any time.
Her fair cheeks could not help but become a shade of red.
With a little bit of embarrassment and a little bit of anger, she spat out, “What do you want to do? What are you thinking about all day?”
She stretched out her hand and patted it lightly, but when she touched it just now, she quickly retracted his hand as if it was hot. Yue Yang laughed, “This is a natural reaction. If it doesn’t get erected when there are beautiful women around me, how would there be any hope for me in the future?!”
He stubbornly took her little hand again, insisting on letting her touch it.
Princess Qian Qian first resisted with all her strength, but found that she couldn’t overpower Yue Yang. As she quickly touched him, her hand retracted as if she encountered a snake bite. Her face flushed and even her neck became hot before she turned her head and looked around. Realising that Xue Wu Xia hadn’t returned, her tone suddenly became louder, “What’s the big deal about this? it’s not like I haven’t seen it before; I even kissed it!”
She accidentally exposed a big secret.
Yue Yang was stunned.
Princess Qian Qian knew that she had made a mistake and became even more flustered, so she hurriedly waved her hand to argue, “That was just a bet with Lady Xue. She said she dared to kiss it, so naturally I can’t admit defeat.”
“Why didn’t I know about this?” Student Yue Yang was filled with regret— why did he miss such a beautiful moment?
“You were unconscious and you couldn’t wake up…” Princess Qian Qian saw that his face was filled with regret and she couldn’t help but feel the warmth of a growing love forming in her heart. She hugged him and kissed him gently on the lips, “Alright, I also know that it’s not right to be angry with you, but you always seem to annoy others! Let’s just finish this with a kiss and then everyone will be even. I won’t be angry with you and you’re not allowed to be angry with me either!”
“One more kiss,” Student Yue Yang would never be satisfied with the status quo.
“No, Lady Xue is coming back soon,” Princess Qian Qian refused and looked around anxiously. She hurriedly dressed Yue Yang in fear that Xue Wu Xia would see her helping Yue Yang to dress himself.
“She won’t come back so quickly… I have the feeling that she is still fighting in a very far place! Hey, she chased that Volcanic Whale, right?” Yue Yang hugged the soft Tigress in his arms to mold while the iron was still hot[1]. His tongue pierced her lips and he gave her a suffocating deep kiss. When his bad hand got into her clothes, he woke up Tigress from her trance. She grabbed his big hand and gasped slightly, “No, she really is coming back soon. You won’t stop as soon as you start, and if I let go, you are going to take my clothes off…You bad boy. At night, I will let you hug me in your arms. If Lady Xue sees us doing it in broad daylight, I don’t have the guts to face her anymore. Hurry up and get dressed, she will be back soon- Oh my God, she’s already back…”
[T/L Note: Refers to taking action during an opportunity like how one hits an iron when its hot to form a shape or a different body]
In the distant sky, there was a star twinkling.
In a flash, a figure landed in front of Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian. It was none other than Xue Wu Xia who was holding the Book of Truth.
She looked at Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian with a smile without saying a word. Yue Yang was cheeky as he said nothing at all, but Princess Qian Qian, who was still blushing, said with a guilty conscience, “It’s a good time that you’re back, this kid is wet like a drenched chicken under the rain! This Princess is not going to serve him, so I think it’s best if Sister Xue does it!”
Xue Wu Xia stepped up and abruptly pulled out Yue Yang’s hand that had touched Princess Qian Qian just now. She gave it a whiff with her little nose.
She didn’t speak either as she just smiled and looked at Princess Qian Qian.
But the Princess’s face turned red as she strongly argued, “He forced it…”
Student Yue Yang also raised his hand, “Yes, I forcefully touched it and I can prove it!”
Princess Qian Qian was embarrassed and angry. She stomped on him severely before grabbing his big hand and stretching it out to Xue Wu Xia, “You can’t favour one over another, you should touch her as well!”
She thought that Xue Wu Xia would scream in shock and flee. Who would have thought that Xue Wu Xia didn’t have any signs of being flustered as she still smiled. Instead, she graciously held Yue Yang’s hand, guiding him to touch her towering breasts gently with a light squeeze. Seeing this, Princess Qian Qian was stunned as she never thought that Xue Niu was so brave.
Student Yue Yang had a happy expression on his face, almost ecstatic to the point where he would faint.
I can’t believe this is true!
“Actually, it’s okay to kiss a couple secretly, I won’t be jealous either,” Xue Wu Xia naughtily teased Princess Qian Qian. After finishing, she suddenly exclaimed, “I didn’t think about it before, but after the confrontation with the Lord of Fire, I realised that only when the Innate Supreme power was combined with the human body that it could become the real Supreme Power. It is no wonder that the Holy Beasts and the Divine Beasts would eventually transform into humans because the human body is so important.”
“Indeed. The human body is seemingly the weakest— it has no horns, no fangs, no sharp claws, no scales, no various outstanding external specialties; only wisdom. Precisely because of that, however, it starts off at the weakest point. Once it grows and progresses to its strongest ability, that will make one truly powerful. Without a human body, even if you have a super powerful ability, you wouldn’t be able to use it to its full potential at 100%. For 10,000 years, the Lord of Fire probably did not realize that all kinds of combat skills, as well as the various types of combat methods that could only be exerted by the human body, have completely disappeared,” Yue Yang concluded before he asked Xue Wu Xia, “Why did you suddenly think of all this?”
“I was thinking of the Volcanic Whale that I captured just now. Its size and level was no less than that of mine or even the Storm Goddess General, but it was defeated so badly that there was barely any form of retaliation. Although the Storm Goddess may need a few days to defeat it completely, there is almost no chance of the Volcanic Whale reversing the tides, just like how the Lord of Fire did not have any opportunity to fight back in your hands. If the Volcanic Whale and the Lord of Fire possessed human bodies, I am afraid that things would not have been so simple…” Xue Wu Xia put on Yue Yang’s coat and carefully arranged his collar for him, “In the future, our enemies will be getting stronger and stronger. If we stop speeding up our progress and slow down our pace to step into the realm of supremacy, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help much.”
“We will definitely step into the Supreme Realm. I have a hunch…” Princess Qian Qian had a strong sense of intuition towards their talents. She felt that one of them among the two would be able to ascend into the Supreme Realm in a very short period of time. However, she couldn’t tell who it may be.
